Ananda Marga
Ananda Marga has provided volunteer training in Maharlika since 1967. Under the slogan of Self-realization and Service to All, thousands of volunteers have transformed their lives and that of others providing a broad range of service s in the fields of education, relief and welfare.

Ananda Marga combines the comprehensive science of yoga and meditation with  leadership training to offer the skills volunteers in social service need to be self reliant and effective.

Ananda Marga is registered with the Securities and Exchange commission as a non-profit  charitable organization.

Alumni
Past trainees of Ananda Marga’s volunteer program are now doctors, lawyers, politicians, administrators, business people, architects, professors, missionaries and other prominent leaders of society. It was during their years of volunteering their life’s mission crystallized and they gained the strength and attitude to complete their goals without loosing touch with their commitment to social service.
